Former Southampton forward Guly do Prado has signed for Chicago Fire, the Major League Soccer club announced on Tuesday.
The Brazilian scored 23 goals in 118 appearances during his time at St Mary’s before being released by Southampton in May.
Do Prado had previously played in Italy for Perugia and Cesena before joining Saints, initially on loan in August 2010.
The 33-year-old was a popular figure with Southampton fans as he was being part of the squad that won successive promotions from League One and the Championship.
"Guly is a versatile, attacking player," said Fire head coach Frank Yallop. "I'm pleased to add someone with his experience to strengthen our corps of attack-minded players."
Do Prado is the ninth player to sign for Chicago during the current close season, and he joins compatriot Adailton, who has arrived from Bahia.
